Prosit!

“From here, southward along the Hithæglir, onward to Calenarðon. It shall be in the shadows of Minas Anor that we shall unite with Gondor’s armies. Once organized, we must surely retake Ithilien from the Enemy.”

Ah, this is so wonderful. I love what you've done with it. so glad you got rid of the renewer thing I demand you write more. And to think you were nervous about writing characters! Give me a break, this was excellent. You got rid of the stiffness of the first part but still kept them "polite" and "royal", so it worked out quite well.

You switched into Elrond's pov jusssst briefly. I liked how Vilya called its master, or better yet, how they called each other. That scene was beautiful. If you wanted to be anal about pov you wouldn't have put that, but we would be deprived of that wonderful scene!!!!!!!!!!

The exchange about their fathers was moving. And I noticed you are not making Elrond and Elros twins, which is interesting.

tsk tsk Elrond, laughing at future your mother-in-law, lol

i think that's all i have to say for now...

know what we should do now? someone needs to write when Galadriel was given Nenya (sorry, C/G overtones xP) and when Cirdan was given Narya (or better yet, when Gandalf was given it).

Thanks! :D

"You switched into Elrond's pov jusssst briefly."

Yeah, I did. I think I came to the conclusion in the end, that this was being told (in a way) from Vilya's POV, not Gil-galad's. So, in order to do the story justice, once Vilya traded hands, so did the person we got the thoughts from. Except for the last line before the segue into the Third Age. I felt like I needed to give Gil-galad some closure.

Elros and Elrond should be twins. Did I mess that up somewhere? Crap. XD

I'm all fic'd out for a while, and regardless I couldn't do Celebrimbor giving Nenya to Galadriel justice. And unfortunately, Círdan doesn't interest me enough to write. XD

OH. I just assumed you weren't doing that, because you referred to them as "older" and "younger" somewhere, I think? And scrolling up I see that you wrote "twin". *facepalm* sorry.

I was just telling Mari that technically, she already did a Nenya&Galadriel interaction, with Galadriel giving it up. So I guess I am left with Gandalf or Cirdan. I think Cirdan is cool, probably because he is kind of like a Teleri *shifty eyes*

[falathrim]

Haha, yeah. Older, by a good minute or two. ;)

Well! You know what you must do! Narya away!

It scratched at Gil-galad’s hroa, it spat upon his fëa. And no longer could Gil-galad deny its deepest desires.

This amuses me greatly. Also you need to write more because you are good at it!

[falathrim]

Inspiration comes to me rarely. But hey, if I find it, I'll write it. Thanks!

[ovirginsaint]

Yay! I'll tell the Muse to come bug you more often XD

[falathrim]

That icon is secks.

Unfortunately, I have no muse. :(
